The Canary Wharf in London, La Promenade Plantee in Paris... or the Marina Bay in Singapore.
These are just some examples of urban renewal projects around the world.
Urban regeneration or renewal is rebooting abandoned and derelict areas with new developments to turn then into hip destinations brimming with new parks, cultural venues, and nightlife.
We're seeing more of this right here in the Korean capital, as well. The latest revitalization efforts of Seoul: Our NewsFeature tonight with Kim Jungsoo.
The neighborhood of Bulgwang 2-dong in Seoul's Eunpyeong District is usually quiet and unassuming, but it's recently received a meaningful injection of energy.
That's because the city of Seoul selected it in a contest as one of 20 neighborhoods in the capital that will receive 120 million won, or 100-thousand U.S. dollars, to fund its own urban regeneration programs.
Under the guidance of an urban regeneration activist who works with the city government, area residents are now busy surveying which parts of the neighborhood need to be restored.
But perhaps more importantly, the contest has helped bring the community together.
"Really, what is most meaningful is that the residents realize the importance of a strong sense of community, so that even when the external support ends, the neighborhood will continue to look for ways to grow."
The latest urban regeneration projects differ from past urban redevelopment programs, which started in the 1970s and were directed by the Korean government to address the country's rapid economic development and gentrification.
Construction companies were authorized to make abandoned areas livable and trendy, but people were evicted and their homes demolished.
The programs placed a heavy emphasis on exterior design, but ignored the needs and visions of area residents.
"Past redevelopment programs assumed that a new physical environment would guarantee a good living environment. But we soon realized that we had overlooked two factors -- the geographical uniqueness of the region and the sense of community and culture. So urban regeneration projects should account for both elements."
Many urban-planning experts point to a little community in the center of Seoul to prove their point.
"JangsuVillage in Seoul is a prime example of successful urban regeneration. As Seoul faces the inevitable effects of an aging population, many believe the village can serve as an effective role-model."
Jangsu Village has a population of about 600 people in 300 households.
Many are migrants from the countryside who were displaced by the Korean War, and over 65 percent of them are well over 60.
Jangsu Village was considered for a government-driven "New TownDevelopment" project back 2004.
But no commercial developers opted to join in, because the available land was too small and the issue of land-ownership was too complicated.
Then, things took a turn in 2008, when area residents decided to take the initiative to recruit their own architect... and come up with their own renewal plan.
They approached the Seoul city government in 2013 to seek financial support for their plan, in which the city government would listen to the village, rather than directing it.
"Really, our attempt at urban renewal is very different from other government-led initiatives, which often build a roadmap aimed at reaping the most benefits in the shortest amount of time. Our focus is on the comfort and needs of our residents."
As a result of their efforts, Jangsu Village now boasts a number of new features.
There are new staircases, CCTV cameras and community spaces called sarangbangs, where area residents -- many of whom are aging and live alone -- can gather and spend time together.
"It's great to have this space to spend the winter. The roads have become wider, and the residences all have gas and electricity now."
But as the village representative stresses again and again, urban regeneration projects do not, and should not, have a fixed timeline.
As longtime residents move away and new ones come in, the neighborhood will have to adjust to the needs of the changing community, which means that the regeneration process becomes a thoughtful, continuous conversation between the people and the spaces they inhabit.

There's the Lowline in New York and the Underground City of Montreal, and it's now Seoul's turn, it seems.
Major cities around the world are expanding... not horizontally... but vertically down... underground.
Today, the Korean capital unveiled a mega contruction project that will create an underground pedestrian-exclusive space below the downtown Seoul.Kim Ji-yeon reports.
The Seoul government announced on Thursday that an underground space will be built in the capital city by 2025, in a project that follows the city's initiative to create more space for residents to enjoy cultural activities.
Book cafes and exhibitions of cultural and historical relics will be part of the 31-thousand square-meter underground city.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government is spearheading the project in cooperation with privately run Seoul Shinmun and the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation.
The underground city will also feature a 4-and-a-half kilometer-long pedestrian pathway that is projected to connect at least 12 subway train stations and 30 buildings,... passing through major tourist hubs such as Seoul City Hall, CheonggyecheonStream, Gwanghwamun SquarePlaza and the DongdaemunHistory and Culture Park Station.
The underground space is expected to greatly boost the quality of life of the city's residents as well as enhance the local tourism, culture and commercial sectors.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to roll out detailed measures early next year to initiate the underground city construction.

A complex, expensive greenway was constructed in Seoul, Korea. It spanned the city and involved removing an expressway yet was completed in 2-1/2 years.
Provides flood protection for up to a 200-year flood event and can sustain a flow rate of 118mm/hr.
Increased overall biodiversity by 639% between the pre-restoration work in 2003 and the end of 2008 with the number of plant species increasing from 62 to 308, fish species from 4 to 25, bird species from 6 to 36, aquatic invertebrate species from 5 to 53, insect species from 15 to 192, mammals from 2 to 4, and amphibians from 4 to 8.
Reduces the urban heat island effect with temperatures along the stream 3.3° to 5.9°C cooler than on a parallel road 4-7 blocks away. This results from the removal of the paved expressway, the cooling effect of the stream, increased vegetation, reduction in auto trips, and a 2.2-7.8% increase in wind speeds moving through the corridor.
Reduced small-particle air pollution by 35% from 74 to 48 micrograms per cubic meter. Before the restoration, residents of the area were more than twice as likely to suffer from respiratory disease as those in other parts of the city.
Contributed to 15.1% increase in bus ridership and 3.3% in subway ridership in Seoul between 2003 and the end of 2008.
Increased the price of land by 30-50% for properties within 50 meters of the restoration project. This is double the rate of property increases in other areas of Seoul.
Increased number of businesses by 3.5% in Cheonggyecheon area during 2002-2003, which was double the rate of business growth in downtown Seoul; increased the number of working people in the Cheonggyecheon area by 0.8%, versus a decrease in downtown Seoul of 2.6%.
Attracts an average of 64,000 visitors daily. Of those, 1,408 are foreign tourists who contribute up to 2.1 billion won ($1.9 million USD) in visitor spending to the Seoul economy.

6:30pm AwardCeremonyProfessorJoan Busquets, Green Prize Jury Chairman, discusses the 2010 winner: the CheonggyecheonRiverProject in Seoul, Korea. Following the presentation of the award to Mr. In-Keun Lee, AssistantMayor of Seoul, Mr. Lee will offer remarks about the project.
7:15pm Reception
Come celebrate this year's Green Prize-winning project by exploring the accompanying exhibition, which will be on view in the Gund HallGallery until October 17. In addition, an accompanying publication will be unveiled for the occasion.
About the VeronicaRudgeGreen Prize in Urban Design
The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design was established in 1986 on the occasion of the celebration of Harvard's 350th and the Graduate School of Design's 50th anniversaries, and to mark the visit of his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, to Harvard and the GSD. The award is made periodically by the GSD for an urban design project larger in scope than a single building, constructed anywhere in the world during the previous ten years. Award-winning projects are selected because they make a positive and substantial contribution to the public realm of a city, improve the quality of urban life, and demonstrate a humane and worthwhile direction for the design of urban environments.
The Cheonggyecheon River Project in Seoul, Korea
Statement by exhibition curator Joan Busquets
The evolution of the Cheonggyecheon River in just twenty-nine months from an outmoded utilitarian highway into a multipurpose performative infrastructural piece of unprecedented size merits recognition as a seminal project in contemporary urban design. The project is a remarkable achievement that recovers the biological and social ecology of the city, and demonstrates the profound ability of design at the urban scale to provoke positive transformation effectively over large territories. The project signifies a broader sea change in Asian attitudes toward city design, from a quantitative model concerned primarily with growth to a more qualitative program that incorporates quality of life and environmental sustainability into economic development strategies.
City design cannot be regarded merely as the product of an inspired designer or a skillful politician; projects at the scale of the Cheonggyecheon intervention often do not have a single designer and, in most cases, require exemplary political support and public negotiation. In the case of the Cheonggyecheon River Restoration Project, the successful completion was made possible by the presence and constant support of Mayor and President LeeMyung-bak, the work of the urban design team at the SeoulDevelopmentInstitute, the coordination of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a public participation process, and the contributions of specialists and engineers from various firms. Together these diverse players formed a brilliant and effective team, collaborating to establish formal logics and systems of synergy among disciplines and across specialized sectors. We see here the interdisciplinary role of the urban design project, facilitating critical connections between landscape and economics, engineering and planning, politics and architecture.
Cheonggyecheon is an urban intervention with far-reaching significance for the city as a whole, as the project scope is far more extensive than the linear park. Environmentally, the restored waterway and plantings have not only changed the ecology along its banks but have affected the climatic conditions in the city center. Economically, the Cheonggyecheon has stimulated business activity in the surrounding area and, for the first time in Seoul's modern history, effectively linked the north and south of Seoul while reducing traffic pressure on the central business district by increasing the transportation capacity of buses and subways. The project stands as clear evidence that coordinated urban design can catalyze economic development, reinforce connection with the natural environment, and improve the quality of the urban condition for residents and visitors alike. Moreover, the project is paradigmatic of sustainable attitudes toward city design and development, integrating systemic public transportation improvements with meticulous ecological restoration to facilitate novel, authentic, and innovative urban experiences.

#Myeongdong #명동 #MyeongdongShoppingDistrict #Seoul #서울市 #SouthKorea

South Korea's busy capital has a brand new tourist attraction.
In some sense it's more like a successful transformation.
Instead being discarded, a disused overpass, has been given a new lease in life.
Our Hwang Hojun introduces to us the garden that's hanging in the sky.
December 13, 2015 was the day the Seoul StationOverpass was once and for all closed to car traffic.
The overpass was built in 1970 to cope with a surging population and to alleviate traffic jams, but in 2006, it failed to pass the annual safety inspection, getting a "D," and that led to calls for it to be completely torn down.
But instead of getting rid of the overpass, Seoul decided to give it a drastic facelift.
For 45 years the Seoul Station overpass was a symbol of industrialization, with tens of thousands of cars using it on a daily basis. And after 18 months of construction, the road for cars is now a road for people. It also has a new name: Seoullo 7017.
The name "Seoullo" translates to Seoul Street.
7017 references the road's birth and reincarnation -- built in 1970 and re-opened in 2017.
But the number 17 carries even more meanings than that.
The overpass is 17 meters off the ground, and connects to 17 different pedestrian roads, which lead to many tourist attractions via walkways, elevators and escalators.
A variety of performances and exhibitions will also take place throughout the year.
"Seems like a botanic garden right in the middle of this concrete jungle. So, I really like it....modern cities nowadays you get more and more cars, more and more pollution, more and more traffic, less and less nature, less and less green, so reestablishing this former automobile bridge into something actually people living here, enjoying the quality of the city. It’s amazing, truly amazing."
"I used to drive often on the Seoul Station Overpass. So I was a bit worried when the city first decided to close it down for construction because I thought it would worsen the congestion nearby. But now that I'm actually here, on the opening day with my family, I'm personally quite glad because it feels like the city is becoming more people-friendly, providing a place like this for people to enjoy."
Also sporting the nickname "Sky Garden," the overpass was designed by a renowned Dutch architect named Winy Maas,... who took first place in Seoul’s 2015 international design competition.
Just like its nickname, the kilometer-long pedestrian park features more than 24,000 trees and plants of 228 species, most of which are arranged throughout the overpass in the order of the Korean alphabet, Hangeul.
"We have cities where many people have different characters. And that’s the same for our plant world.... So we really thought, that we would make,.. to show that explicitly to Korea and to make this kind of library, where you could go and see what you want to have."
The project focuses on two long-term visions for the city,... which are to encourage urban restoration and tourism on foot.
"If development in the past was about completely demolishing an old bit of infrastructure to build something else on top of it, urban restoration is about keeping and making use of the structure, thereby cutting down on waste and revitalizing the local economy as well.
Seoullo 7017 is both the starting point and the model for such efforts."
Seoul is known for its dynamic atmosphere, as seen in the coexistence of modern technology and a long history.
With the reopening of Seoullo 7017, the Korean capital is now setting an example for how an urban eyesore can be transformed into a beautiful oasis and an escape from the city.

Predicted and scheduled events

January

August

August 21– A total solar eclipse will take place. This will be the first total solar eclipse of the 21st century for the United States, and the first visible in the continental U.S. since February 26, 1979. Totality will occur along a path curving from Oregon to South Carolina, and will last at most for 2 minutes and 40.2 seconds. The location and time of "greatest eclipse" will be on the western edge of Christian County, Kentucky, at 36.9715 degrees north and 87.6559 degrees west, occurring at 18:25 UTC.

Korea emerged as a singular political entity after centuries of conflict among the Three Kingdoms of Korea, which were unified as Silla (57 BC – AD 935) and Balhae (AD 698 – 926). The united Silla was eventually succeeded by Goryeo in 935 at the end of the Later Three Kingdoms period. Goryeo, which gave name to the modern exonym "Korea", was a highly cultured state and created the Jikji in the 14th century. The invasions by the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, however, greatly weakened the nation, which forced it into vassalage. After the Yuan dynasty's collapse, severe political strife followed. Goryeo eventually fell to an uprising led by General Yi Seong-gye, who established Joseon in 1388.

Increased overall biodiversity by 639% between the pre-restoration work in 2003 and the end of 2008 with the number of plant species increasing from 62 to 308, fish species from 4 to 25, bird species from 6 to 36, aquatic invertebrate species from 5 to 53, insect species from 15 to 192, mammals from 2 to 4, and amphibians from 4 to 8.
Reduces the urban heat island effect with temperatures along the stream 3.3° to 5.9°C cooler than on a parallel road 4-7 blocks away. This results from the removal of the paved expressway, the cooling effect of the stream, increased vegetation, reduction in auto trips, and a 2.2-7.8% increase in wind speeds moving through the corridor.
Reduced small-particle air pollution by 35% from 74 to 48 micrograms per cubic meter. Before the restoration, residents of the area were more than twice as likely to suffer from respiratory disease as those in other parts of the city.
Contributed to 15.1% increase in bus ridership and 3.3% in subway ridership in Seoul between 2003 and the end of 2008.
Increased the price of land by 30-50% for properties within 50 meters of the restoration project. This is double the rate of property increases in other areas of Seoul.
Increased number of businesses by 3.5% in Cheonggyecheon area during 2002-2003, which was double the rate of business growth in downtown Seoul; increased the number of working people in the Cheonggyecheon area by 0.8%, versus a decrease in downtown Seoul of 2.6%.
Attracts an average of 64,000 visitors daily. Of those, 1,408 are foreign tourists who contribute up to 2.1 billion won ($1.9 million USD) in visitor spending to the Seoul economy.

About the VeronicaRudgeGreen Prize in Urban Design
The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design was established in 1986 on the occasion of the celebration of Harvard's 350th and the Graduate School of Design's 50th anniversaries, and to mark the visit of his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, to Harvard and the GSD. The award is made periodically by the GSD for an urban design project larger in scope than a single building, constructed anywhere in the world during the previous ten years. Award-winning projects are selected because they make a positive and substantial contribution to the public realm of a city, improve the quality of urban life, and demonstrate a humane and worthwhile direction for the design of urban environments.
The Cheonggyecheon River Project in Seoul, Korea
Statement by exhibition curator Joan Busquets
The evolution of the Cheonggyecheon River in just twenty-nine months from an outmoded utilitarian highway into a multipurpose performative infrastructural piece of unprecedented size merits recognition as a seminal project in contemporary urban design. The project is a remarkable achievement that recovers the biological and social ecology of the city, and demonstrates the profound ability of design at the urban scale to provoke positive transformation effectively over large territories. The project signifies a broader sea change in Asian attitudes toward city design, from a quantitative model concerned primarily with growth to a more qualitative program that incorporates quality of life and environmental sustainability into economic development strategies.
City design cannot be regarded merely as the product of an inspired designer or a skillful politician; projects at the scale of the Cheonggyecheon intervention often do not have a single designer and, in most cases, require exemplary political support and public negotiation. In the case of the Cheonggyecheon River Restoration Project, the successful completion was made possible by the presence and constant support of Mayor and President LeeMyung-bak, the work of the urban design team at the SeoulDevelopmentInstitute, the coordination of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a public participation process, and the contributions of specialists and engineers from various firms. Together these diverse players formed a brilliant and effective team, collaborating to establish formal logics and systems of synergy among disciplines and across specialized sectors. We see here the interdisciplinary role of the urban design project, facilitating critical connections between landscape and economics, engineering and planning, politics and architecture.
Cheonggyecheon is an urban intervention with far-reaching significance for the city as a whole, as the project scope is far more extensive than the linear park. Environmentally, the restored waterway and plantings have not only changed the ecology along its banks but have affected the climatic conditions in the city center. Economically, the Cheonggyecheon has stimulated business activity in the surrounding area and, for the first time in Seoul's modern history, effectively linked the north and south of Seoul while reducing traffic pressure on the central business district by increasing the transportation capacity of buses and subways. The project stands as clear evidence that coordinated urban design can catalyze economic development, reinforce connection with the natural environment, and improve the quality of the urban condition for residents and visitors alike. Moreover, the project is paradigmatic of sustainable attitudes toward city design and development, integrating systemic public transportation improvements with meticulous ecological restoration to facilitate novel, authentic, and innovative urban experiences.

The 'Hanging Garden' of Seoul, Seoullo 7017 opens

South Korea's busy capital has a brand new tourist attraction.
In some sense it's more like a successful transformation.
Instead being discarded, a disused overpass, has been given a new lease in life.
Our Hwang Hojun introduces to us the garden that's hanging in the sky.
December 13, 2015 was the day the Seoul StationOverpass was once and for all closed to car traffic.
The overpass was built in 1970 to cope with a surging population and to alleviate traffic jams, but in 2006, it failed to pass the annual safety inspection, getting a "D," and that led to calls for it to be completely torn down.
But instead of getting rid of the overpass, Seoul decided to give it a drastic facelift.
For 45 years the Seoul Station overpass was a symbol of industrialization, with tens of thousands of cars using it on a daily basis. And after 18 months of construction, the road for cars is now a road for people. It also has a new name: Seoullo 7017.
The name "Seoullo" translates to Seoul Street.
7017 references the road's birth and reincarnation -- built in 1970 and re-opened in 2017.
But the number 17 carries even more meanings than that.
The overpass is 17 meters off the ground, and connects to 17 different pedestrian roads, which lead to many tourist attractions via walkways, elevators and escalators.
A variety of performances and exhibitions will also take place throughout the year.
"Seems like a botanic garden right in the middle of this concrete jungle. So, I really like it....modern cities nowadays you get more and more cars, more and more pollution, more and more traffic, less and less nature, less and less green, so reestablishing this former automobile bridge into something actually people living here, enjoying the quality of the city. It’s amazing, truly amazing."
"I used to drive often on the Seoul Station Overpass. So I was a bit worried when the city first decided to close it down for construction because I thought it would worsen the congestion nearby. But now that I'm actually here, on the opening day with my family, I'm personally quite glad because it feels like the city is becoming more people-friendly, providing a place like this for people to enjoy."
Also sporting the nickname "Sky Garden," the overpass was designed by a renowned Dutch architect named Winy Maas,... who took first place in Seoul’s 2015 international design competition.
Just like its nickname, the kilometer-long pedestrian park features more than 24,000 trees and plants of 228 species, most of which are arranged throughout the overpass in the order of the Korean alphabet, Hangeul.
"We have cities where many people have different characters. And that’s the same for our plant world.... So we really thought, that we would make,.. to show that explicitly to Korea and to make this kind of library, where you could go and see what you want to have."
The project focuses on two long-term visions for the city,... which are to encourage urban restoration and tourism on foot.
"If development in the past was about completely demolishing an old bit of infrastructure to build something else on top of it, urban restoration is about keeping and making use of the structure, thereby cutting down on waste and revitalizing the local economy as well.
Seoullo 7017 is both the starting point and the model for such efforts."
Seoul is known for its dynamic atmosphere, as seen in the coexistence of modern technology and a long history.
With the reopening of Seoullo 7017, the Korean capital is now setting an example for how an urban eyesore can be transformed into a beautiful oasis and an escape from the city.

Seoul to push for DMZ peace park project with Pyongyang

The SouthKorean government has decided to forge ahead with a number of projects that,... if realized,... would bolster economic ties with Pyongyang.
The list includes President Park Geun-hye's proposal to build a peace park on the heavily fortified border dividing the two Koreas,... and helping out business that promote cultural exchanges between Seoul and Pyongyang.
Our Yoo Li-an has the details.
Seoul will aim to strike a deal with Pyongyang sometime this year on building a peace park in the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas.
The unification ministry made the announcement on Thursday as part of its key policy plans for the year during a joint policy briefing session with President Park Geun-hye.
The plan,... first proposed by President Park last year,... aims to create a peace park,... marked in yellow,... in the four-kilometer-wide buffer border zone.
The project was proposed with an aim of improving relations with North Korea.
The ministry for inter-Korean affairs also announced plans to push forth a so-called "EurasiaInitiative" that calls for linking energy and logistics infrastracture across the continent.
The ministry said it will explore measures to renovate a 54-kilometer track connecting North Korea's port city of Rajin and Russia's eastern border town of Khasan.
Through the project, Seoul wants to ultimately build a distribution channel that runs from South Korea's southernmost port city of Busan through North Korea and to Russia.
Moves for the project have been under way since November,... when President Park met with Russian PresidentVladimir Putin and signed a memorandum of understanding that will help South Korean companies take part in the railway revitalization project.
The unification ministry also announced it will look into businesses that could enhance cultural understanding between the two Koreas,... by working in various areas, including sports and arts.
The ministry emphasized however,... that it will also dedicate equal efforts to denuclearizing North Korea,... while trying to improve relations with its northern neighbor.

Under the guidance of an urban regeneration activist who works with the city government, area residents are now busy surveying which parts of the neighborhood need to be restored.
But perhaps more importantly, the contest has helped bring the community together.
"Really, what is most meaningful is that the residents realize the importance of a strong sense of community, so that even when the external support ends, the neighborhood will continue to look for ways to grow."
The latest urban regeneration projects differ from past urban redevelopment programs, which started in the 1970s and were directed by the Korean government to address the country's rapid economic development and gentrification.
Construction companies were authorized to make abandoned areas livable and trendy, but people were evicted and their homes demolished.
The programs placed a heavy emphasis on exterior design, but ignored the needs and visions of area residents.
"Past redevelopment programs assumed that a new physical environment would guarantee a good living environment. But we soon realized that we had overlooked two factors -- the geographical uniqueness of the region and the sense of community and culture. So urban regeneration projects should account for both elements."
Many urban-planning experts point to a little community in the center of Seoul to prove their point.
"JangsuVillage in Seoul is a prime example of successful urban regeneration. As Seoul faces the inevitable effects of an aging population, many believe the village can serve as an effective role-model."
Jangsu Village has a population of about 600 people in 300 households.
Many are migrants from the countryside who were displaced by the Korean War, and over 65 percent of them are well over 60.
Jangsu Village was considered for a government-driven "New TownDevelopment" project back 2004.
But no commercial developers opted to join in, because the available land was too small and the issue of land-ownership was too complicated.
Then, things took a turn in 2008, when area residents decided to take the initiative to recruit their own architect... and come up with their own renewal plan.
They approached the Seoul city government in 2013 to seek financial support for their plan, in which the city government would listen to the village, rather than directing it.
"Really, our attempt at urban renewal is very different from other government-led initiatives, which often build a roadmap aimed at reaping the most benefits in the shortest amount of time. Our focus is on the comfort and needs of our residents."
As a result of their efforts, Jangsu Village now boasts a number of new features.
There are new staircases, CCTV cameras and community spaces called sarangbangs, where area residents -- many of whom are aging and live alone -- can gather and spend time together.
"It's great to have this space to spend the winter. The roads have become wider, and the residences all have gas and electricity now."
But as the village representative stresses again and again, urban regeneration projects do not, and should not, have a fixed timeline.
As longtime residents move away and new ones come in, the neighborhood will have to adjust to the needs of the changing community, which means that the regeneration process becomes a thoughtful, continuous conversation between the people and the spaces they inhabit.

The Canary Wharf in London, La Promenade Plantee in Paris... or the Marina Bay in Singapore.
These are just some examples of urban renewal projects around the world.
Urban regeneration or renewal is rebooting abandoned and derelict areas with new developments to turn then into hip destinations brimming with new parks, cultural venues, and nightlife.
We're seeing more of this right here in the Korean capital, as well. The latest revitalization efforts of Seoul: Our NewsFeature tonight with Kim Jungsoo.

There's the Lowline in New York and the Underground City of Montreal, and it's now Seoul's turn, it seems.
Major cities around the world are expanding... not horizontally... but vertically down... underground.
Today, the Korean capital unveiled a mega contruction project that will create an underground pedestrian-exclusive space below the downtown Seoul.Kim Ji-yeon reports.
The Seoul government announced on Thursday that an underground space will be built in the capital city by 2025, in a project that follows the city's initiative to create more space for residents to enjoy cultural activities.
Book cafes and exhibitions of cultural and historical relics will be part of the 31-thousand square-meter underground city.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government is spearheading the project in cooperation with privately run Seoul Shinmun and the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation.
The underground city will also feature a 4-and-a-half kilometer-long pedestrian pathway that is projected to connect at least 12 subway train stations and 30 buildings,... passing through major tourist hubs such as Seoul City Hall, CheonggyecheonStream, Gwanghwamun SquarePlaza and the DongdaemunHistory and Culture Park Station.
The underground space is expected to greatly boost the quality of life of the city's residents as well as enhance the local tourism, culture and commercial sectors.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to roll out detailed measures early next year to initiate the underground city construction.

A complex, expensive greenway was constructed in Seoul, Korea. It spanned the city and involved removing an expressway yet was completed in 2-1/2 years.
Provides flood protection for up to a 200-year flood event and can sustain a flow rate of 118mm/hr.
Increased overall biodiversity by 639% between the pre-restoration work in 2003 and the end of 2008 with the number of plant species increasing from 62 to 308, fish species from 4 to 25, bird species from 6 to 36, aquatic invertebrate species from 5 to 53, insect species from 15 to 192, mammals from 2 to 4, and amphibians from 4 to 8.
Reduces the urban heat island effect with temperatures along the stream 3.3° to 5.9°C cooler than on a parallel road 4-7 blocks away. This results from the removal of the paved expressway, the cooling effect of the stream, increased vegetation, reduction in auto trips, and a 2.2-7.8% increase in wind speeds moving through the corridor.
Reduced small-particle air pollution by 35% from 74 to 48 micrograms per cubic meter. Before the restoration, residents of the area were more than twice as likely to suffer from respiratory disease as those in other parts of the city.
Contributed to 15.1% increase in bus ridership and 3.3% in subway ridership in Seoul between 2003 and the end of 2008.
Increased the price of land by 30-50% for properties within 50 meters of the restoration project. This is double the rate of property increases in other areas of Seoul.
Increased number of businesses by 3.5% in Cheonggyecheon area during 2002-2003, which was double the rate of business growth in downtown Seoul; increased the number of working people in the Cheonggyecheon area by 0.8%, versus a decrease in downtown Seoul of 2.6%.
Attracts an average of 64,000 visitors daily. Of those, 1,408 are foreign tourists who contribute up to 2.1 billion won ($1.9 million USD) in visitor spending to the Seoul economy.

About the VeronicaRudgeGreen Prize in Urban Design
The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design was established in 1986 on the occasion of the celebration of Harvard's 350th and the Graduate School of Design's 50th anniversaries, and to mark the visit of his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, to Harvard and the GSD. The award is made periodically by the GSD for an urban design project larger in scope than a single building, constructed anywhere in the world during the previous ten years. Award-winning projects are selected because they make a positive and substantial contribution to the public realm of a city, improve the quality of urban life, and demonstrate a humane and worthwhile direction for the design of urban environments.
The Cheonggyecheon River Project in Seoul, Korea
Statement by exhibition curator Joan Busquets
The evolution of the Cheonggyecheon River in just twenty-nine months from an outmoded utilitarian highway into a multipurpose performative infrastructural piece of unprecedented size merits recognition as a seminal project in contemporary urban design. The project is a remarkable achievement that recovers the biological and social ecology of the city, and demonstrates the profound ability of design at the urban scale to provoke positive transformation effectively over large territories. The project signifies a broader sea change in Asian attitudes toward city design, from a quantitative model concerned primarily with growth to a more qualitative program that incorporates quality of life and environmental sustainability into economic development strategies.
City design cannot be regarded merely as the product of an inspired designer or a skillful politician; projects at the scale of the Cheonggyecheon intervention often do not have a single designer and, in most cases, require exemplary political support and public negotiation. In the case of the Cheonggyecheon River Restoration Project, the successful completion was made possible by the presence and constant support of Mayor and President LeeMyung-bak, the work of the urban design team at the SeoulDevelopmentInstitute, the coordination of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a public participation process, and the contributions of specialists and engineers from various firms. Together these diverse players formed a brilliant and effective team, collaborating to establish formal logics and systems of synergy among disciplines and across specialized sectors. We see here the interdisciplinary role of the urban design project, facilitating critical connections between landscape and economics, engineering and planning, politics and architecture.
Cheonggyecheon is an urban intervention with far-reaching significance for the city as a whole, as the project scope is far more extensive than the linear park. Environmentally, the restored waterway and plantings have not only changed the ecology along its banks but have affected the climatic conditions in the city center. Economically, the Cheonggyecheon has stimulated business activity in the surrounding area and, for the first time in Seoul's modern history, effectively linked the north and south of Seoul while reducing traffic pressure on the central business district by increasing the transportation capacity of buses and subways. The project stands as clear evidence that coordinated urban design can catalyze economic development, reinforce connection with the natural environment, and improve the quality of the urban condition for residents and visitors alike. Moreover, the project is paradigmatic of sustainable attitudes toward city design and development, integrating systemic public transportation improvements with meticulous ecological restoration to facilitate novel, authentic, and innovative urban experiences.

The 'Hanging Garden' of Seoul, Seoullo 7017 opens

South Korea's busy capital has a brand new tourist attraction.
In some sense it's more like a successful transformation.
Instead being discarded, a disused overpass, has been given a new lease in life.
Our Hwang Hojun introduces to us the garden that's hanging in the sky.
December 13, 2015 was the day the Seoul StationOverpass was once and for all closed to car traffic.
The overpass was built in 1970 to cope with a surging population and to alleviate traffic jams, but in 2006, it failed to pass the annual safety inspection, getting a "D," and that led to calls for it to be completely torn down.
But instead of getting rid of the overpass, Seoul decided to give it a drastic facelift.
For 45 years the Seoul Station overpass was a symbol of industrialization, with tens of thousands of cars using it on a daily basis. And after 18 months of construction, the road for cars is now a road for people. It also has a new name: Seoullo 7017.
The name "Seoullo" translates to Seoul Street.
7017 references the road's birth and reincarnation -- built in 1970 and re-opened in 2017.
But the number 17 carries even more meanings than that.
The overpass is 17 meters off the ground, and connects to 17 different pedestrian roads, which lead to many tourist attractions via walkways, elevators and escalators.
A variety of performances and exhibitions will also take place throughout the year.
"Seems like a botanic garden right in the middle of this concrete jungle. So, I really like it....modern cities nowadays you get more and more cars, more and more pollution, more and more traffic, less and less nature, less and less green, so reestablishing this former automobile bridge into something actually people living here, enjoying the quality of the city. It’s amazing, truly amazing."
"I used to drive often on the Seoul Station Overpass. So I was a bit worried when the city first decided to close it down for construction because I thought it would worsen the congestion nearby. But now that I'm actually here, on the opening day with my family, I'm personally quite glad because it feels like the city is becoming more people-friendly, providing a place like this for people to enjoy."
Also sporting the nickname "Sky Garden," the overpass was designed by a renowned Dutch architect named Winy Maas,... who took first place in Seoul’s 2015 international design competition.
Just like its nickname, the kilometer-long pedestrian park features more than 24,000 trees and plants of 228 species, most of which are arranged throughout the overpass in the order of the Korean alphabet, Hangeul.
"We have cities where many people have different characters. And that’s the same for our plant world.... So we really thought, that we would make,.. to show that explicitly to Korea and to make this kind of library, where you could go and see what you want to have."
The project focuses on two long-term visions for the city,... which are to encourage urban restoration and tourism on foot.
"If development in the past was about completely demolishing an old bit of infrastructure to build something else on top of it, urban restoration is about keeping and making use of the structure, thereby cutting down on waste and revitalizing the local economy as well.
Seoullo 7017 is both the starting point and the model for such efforts."
Seoul is known for its dynamic atmosphere, as seen in the coexistence of modern technology and a long history.
With the reopening of Seoullo 7017, the Korean capital is now setting an example for how an urban eyesore can be transformed into a beautiful oasis and an escape from the city.
Hwang Hojun, Arirang News

South Korea's busy capital has a brand new tourist attraction.
In some sense it's more like a successful transformation.
Instead being discarded, a disused overpass, has been given a new lease in life.
Our Hwang Hojun introduces to us the garden that's hanging in the sky.
December 13, 2015 was the day the Seoul StationOverpass was once and for all closed to car traffic.
The overpass was built in 1970 to cope with a surging population and to alleviate traffic jams, but in 2006, it failed to pass the annual safety inspection, getting a "D," and that led to calls for it to be completely torn down.
But instead of getting rid of the overpass, Seoul decided to give it a drastic facelift.
For 45 years the Seoul Station overpass was a symbol of industrialization, with tens of thousands of cars using it on a daily basis. And after 18 months of construction, the road for cars is now a road for people. It also has a new name: Seoullo 7017.
The name "Seoullo" translates to Seoul Street.
7017 references the road's birth and reincarnation -- built in 1970 and re-opened in 2017.
But the number 17 carries even more meanings than that.
The overpass is 17 meters off the ground, and connects to 17 different pedestrian roads, which lead to many tourist attractions via walkways, elevators and escalators.
A variety of performances and exhibitions will also take place throughout the year.
"Seems like a botanic garden right in the middle of this concrete jungle. So, I really like it....modern cities nowadays you get more and more cars, more and more pollution, more and more traffic, less and less nature, less and less green, so reestablishing this former automobile bridge into something actually people living here, enjoying the quality of the city. It’s amazing, truly amazing."

If New York City has the High Line, Seoul has the Seoullo (서울로) 7017 aka Seoul Skygarden. This former overpass highway was destined for demolition due to its safety issues but the city planners decided to transform it into an elevated park for pedestrians. The number 7017 is a combination of the year the flyover was built, 1970 and when it opened to the public in 2017. This walkway stretches for 1 kilometer, starting from Malli-dong, passing Seoul Station, and ends in Namdaemun.

The SouthKorean government has decided to forge ahead with a number of projects that,... if realized,... would bolster economic ties with Pyongyang.
The list includes President Park Geun-hye's proposal to build a peace park on the heavily fortified border dividing the two Koreas,... and helping out business that promote cultural exchanges between Seoul and Pyongyang.
Our Yoo Li-an has the details.
Seoul will aim to strike a deal with Pyongyang sometime this year on building a peace park in the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas.
The unification ministry made the announcement on Thursday as part of its key policy plans for the year during a joint policy briefing session with President Park Geun-hye.
The plan,... first proposed by President Park last year,... aims to create a peace park,... marked in yellow,... in the four-kilometer-wide buffer border zone.
The project was proposed with an aim of improving relations with North Korea.
The ministry for inter-Korean affairs also announced plans to push forth a so-called "EurasiaInitiative" that calls for linking energy and logistics infrastracture across the continent.
The ministry said it will explore measures to renovate a 54-kilometer track connecting North Korea's port city of Rajin and Russia's eastern border town of Khasan.
Through the project, Seoul wants to ultimately build a distribution channel that runs from South Korea's southernmost port city of Busan through North Korea and to Russia.
Moves for the project have been under way since November,... when President Park met with Russian PresidentVladimir Putin and signed a memorandum of understanding that will help South Korean companies take part in the railway revitalization project.
The unification ministry also announced it will look into businesses that could enhance cultural understanding between the two Koreas,... by working in various areas, including sports and arts.
The ministry emphasized however,... that it will also dedicate equal efforts to denuclearizing North Korea,... while trying to improve relations with its northern neighbor.

Check out my Seoul travel guide and tips at this link: http://migrationology.com/2012/05/seoul-travel-guide/ - All my personal Seoul travel tips and suggestions!
Seoul, South Korea, is truly an amazing city to visit! It's modern, easy to navigate and there's little something everyone will enjoy. The Seoul subway system makes it easy to get around town and discover exactly what the giant city has to offer.
Surrounded by Japan and China, Seoul and South Korea sometimes doesn't get all the attention is deserves . Korea is home to a unique culture, cuisine and a fascinating history. If you ever have the chance to visit Seoul, you'll have a great time!
I traveled to Seoul Korea and was able to do all kinds of things, but I've narrowed this list down to twenty five of the best things to do in Seoul - of course there are other things as well but this list is just the beginning and intended to get your ideas and travel imagination flowing!
Anyway, on to the top Seoul attractions, here's the list in case you can't see the video:
1. Gyeongbukgung Palace
2. Bukchon Hanok Village
3. JogyesaBuddhist Temple
4. Suwon's Hwaseong Fortress
5. War Memorial and Museum
6. N Seoul Tower
7. MyeongdongShopping
8. Insadong
9. Namdaemun Market
10. Dongdaemun
11. InternationalItaewon
12. Hongdae (Hongik University)
13. Lotte Mart
14. Lotte World
15. Seoul Children's Park
16. Han RiverWalking / Riding
17. Walk along the CheonggyecheonStream
18. Hike in Seoul
19. Gwangjang Market
20. Noryangjin Fish Market
21. Garak Wholesale FoodMarket
22. KoreanStreet Food
23. Ice Cream Selections
24. Coffee at a Coffee Shop
25. Korean Barbecue
I stayed in South Korea for just over 2 weeks and was able to complete this entire list of things to do in Seoul.
However, even though there are so many places to see and go, probably my favorite of all is eating and sampling delicious Korean food! Korean food is so good and there are so many restaurants everywhere you look in Seoul that it can truly be considered a foodie's paradise.
If you get a chance to visit Seoul I hope your'e able to do all these wonderful things while you're there!
Anything else you love about Seoul that's not on this list? Please feel free to leave a comment below and let me know!

Overnight is a travel and food show for today’s traveler and we’ve been working on this web series for 4 months now. In today’s time hungry world, people want to try and experience so much in so little time. In fact, we discovered that most people travelling around Asia would spend on average 36 to 72 hours in any given capital city. So we decided to the same thing. Overnight will go through 5 large Asian cities (Taipei, Saigon, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Seoul) and will attempt to show you what you can do during those precious few hours you have in the metropolis. From drinking, eating, discovering new cultures all the way up to clubbing. Overnight’s got you covered.

I'm back in Seoul! This time I will show you all the popular touristic places along with all the detailed information you would need (in the video and in the description box). You can just follow my itinerary and you would be able to hit all the important sights without wasting any time! I also included time stamps in the video to help you plan better.

https://www.expedia.com/Seoul.d178308.Destination-Travel-Guides
Watch our video highlighting some of the best things to do in Seoul, but beware—it just might cause you to start planning your next Korean vacation!
Join us in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. This intriguing destination boasts an innovative, forward-thinking culture, but it’s also steeped in history. While traveling around this northwestern city, you’ll come across massive shopping complexes just on the outskirts of ancient temples and palaces.
Take a trip back in time at the Changdeokgung Palace, which was built in 1405 as one of the Five Grand Palaces established by the Joseon Dynasty. Though all the city’s palaces were burned down during the 1592 Japanese invasion, Changdeokgung was the first to be reconstructed. Venture around Injeongjeon, the throne hall, and step across the Geumcheongyo Bridge, which is considered one of the city’s oldest bridges. Deoksugung is another one of the Five Grand Palaces, and it’s unique in that it incorporates a Western-style garden. Don’t miss the other royal grounds, including Changgyeonggung Palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and UnhyeongungPalace.
If you’re really looking to get a sense of the more modern, Seoul tourism scene, prepare to shop ’til you drop! This city takes shopping seriously, as you can find stores and markets scattered all around town. COEX Mall is Korea’s largest underground shopping mall, while Namdaemun Market features hundreds of vendors selling almost anything you can imagine, from kimchi to kitchenware. In the mood for some late-night shopping? Discover some of the best finds in fashion at Dongdaemun Market, which is open all through the night, closing around 7 a.m.Continue your Seoul city tour by making your way to the theaters to witness some marvelous performances. These theaters know how to put on a show–Korean martial artists, dazzling dancers, and talented musicians take the stage at the Korea House, Jeongdong Theater, and Seoul Arts Center. Next, visit the Gyeongbokgung Palace to catch the opening and closing of the royal palace gates and the royal guard changing, or check out the Bosingak daily bell-ringing ceremony.
Whether you decide to join guided Seoul tours or prefer to venture around the Korean destination on your own terms, you won’t be disappointed. From royal grounds to theater productions, the entertainment is endless. Press play on our travel guide video to get inspiration for your next trip to South Korea.

SeoulTravelGuide here► https://migrationology.com/travel-guides/seoul-korea/
Day 2 on Seoul turned out to be a great one full day tour of Seoul. We started by visiting a few of the most famous Seoul attractions, had an incredible lunch, and then continued on to visit more attractions and ended with an amazing Korean grilled fish dinner.
00:51 DeoksugungPalace; 1,000 Won ($0.84); City Hall Station, Exit 2. For our first stop for the day, we took the Metro to Deoksugung Palace, which is one of the number of famous Royal palaces in Seoul. It was a nice place to walk around, still pretty quiet in the morning when we got there.
1:54 Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gyeongbokgung Station, Exit 5; Entrance price - 3,000 Won ($2.53). One of the most famous attractions in Seoul is the Gyeongbokgung Palace, and it’s an absolutely huge complex where you can walk around and see the different palaces and temples. We didn't’ have a lot of time, but I did spend a few minutes watching the guards at the front, and then walking around the inner sections of the palace. It’s one of the must visit places in Seoul.
3:46 Bukchon Son ManduRestaurant (북촌손만두); 35,000 Won for 4 bowls of noodles, 1 combination plate of mandu dumplings for 12,000 Won. Located near to Bukchon Hanok village is a legendary restaurant in Seoul known as Bukchon Son Mandu (북촌손만두). I had eaten there before on a previous trip to Seoul, but at a different location at Insadong. This time we ate at their original location, and they specializes in both mandu dumplings, and bowls of noodles. We ordered a mixed plate of mandu which included both fried and steamed mandu and I got a bowl of mul naengmyeon (랭면), which is a Korean ice cold noodles dish. All the food was delicious. Bukchon Son Mandu is a great place to eat when you’re in Seoul.
9:54 Bukchon Hanok Village; Another one of the top attractions in Seoul is the Bukchon Hanok Village, an old village in the heart of Seoul where you can find traditional buildings and homes and businesses. It has become a bit on the touristy side, but there are many locals that visit, and I think it’s a great place to take a walk and enjoy the atmosphere of Seoul. We also stopped to have a couple skewers of what is one of my favorite Korean street foods, dakkochi, which are grilled chicken skewers.
11:07 Korean Street Food near Dongdaemun Market: In the evening, we took the Metro over to Dongdaemun station and found a small side street to eat some Korean street food snacks. We had tteokbokki, gimbap, and some kind of boiled fish tofu on a stick. All the snacks together came to 7,000 Won ($5.91).
13:18 Dongdaemun Grilled Fish Street: For dinner, we didn’t really have any plans, but we just happen to stumble into what I later found out was the Dongdaemun Grilled Fish Street, because there were at least a half dozen grilled fish restaurants. The restaurant served a number of different types of fish, all salted heavily and grilled. Along with rice and all the banchan sides, it was a Korean food meal I loved.
17:34 Dongdaemun Area: Finally, to end this full one day tour of Korean food and attractions in Seoul, we took a walk around the Dongdaemun area, full of shopping malls and action.
I think it turned out to be a pretty good one day in Seoul!

Filmed with GoPro + ZhiYun Z1 Pround 3 axis gimbal stabilizer.
Come walk around Bongeunsa, a Buddhist temple in the heart of Seoul's Gangnam district!
Marie and I spent a wonderful spring afternoon walking around the famous Bong-eun-sa temple located in the middle of Gangnam district, right across the street from the famous COEX Mall.
This temple was founded in 794 A.D., and has experienced a history of attacks and fires.

Since then, the majority of the complex has been rebuilt and is even undergoing construction projects to this day.

The Road to Seoul Ep13 Asia's Model Makers

The world′s runways have heated up with Asian fashion models taking on the challenge of becoming a top model. There are those that have helped Asia shed the old moniker of ′developing fashion continent′ to become the new fashion capital. We′ll introduce Asia′s models, who are soaring to the top, as well as the people responsible for producing them.
Asia′s ModelsEnchant the World′s Runways
The world′s modeling industry used to be dominated by the Caucasian for a long time. However, thanks to the influence of Orientalism and minimalism, Asian models are being seen in a new light. In addition, since the purchasing power of Asians has increased enormously, more brands are targeting the Asian market by employing Asian models. On top of that, 20% of the products of high-end brands are sold in ...

7:15pm Reception
Come celebrate this year's Green Prize-winning project by exploring the accompanying exhibition, which will be on view in the Gund HallGallery until October 17. In addition, an accompanying publication will be unveiled for the occasion.
About the VeronicaRudgeGreen Prize in Urban Design
The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design was established in 1986 on the occasion of the celebration of Harvard's 350th and the Graduate School of Design's 50th anniversaries, and to mark the visit of his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, to Harvard and the GSD. The award is made periodically by the GSD for an urban design project larger in scope than a single building, constructed anywhere in the world during the previous ten years. Award-winning projects are selected because they make a positive and substantial contribution to the public realm of a city, improve the quality of urban life, and demonstrate a humane and worthwhile direction for the design of urban environments.
The Cheonggyecheon River Project in Seoul, Korea
Statement by exhibition curator Joan Busquets
The evolution of the Cheonggyecheon River in just twenty-nine months from an outmoded utilitarian highway into a multipurpose performative infrastructural piece of unprecedented size merits recognition as a seminal project in contemporary urban design. The project is a remarkable achievement that recovers the biological and social ecology of the city, and demonstrates the profound ability of design at the urban scale to provoke positive transformation effectively over large territories. The project signifies a broader sea change in Asian attitudes toward city design, from a quantitative model concerned primarily with growth to a more qualitative program that incorporates quality of life and environmental sustainability into economic development strategies.
City design cannot be regarded merely as the product of an inspired designer or a skillful politician; projects at the scale of the Cheonggyecheon intervention often do not have a single designer and, in most cases, require exemplary political support and public negotiation. In the case of the Cheonggyecheon River Restoration Project, the successful completion was made possible by the presence and constant support of Mayor and President LeeMyung-bak, the work of the urban design team at the SeoulDevelopmentInstitute, the coordination of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a public participation process, and the contributions of specialists and engineers from various firms. Together these diverse players formed a brilliant and effective team, collaborating to establish formal logics and systems of synergy among disciplines and across specialized sectors. We see here the interdisciplinary role of the urban design project, facilitating critical connections between landscape and economics, engineering and planning, politics and architecture.
Cheonggyecheon is an urban intervention with far-reaching significance for the city as a whole, as the project scope is far more extensive than the linear park. Environmentally, the restored waterway and plantings have not only changed the ecology along its banks but have affected the climatic conditions in the city center. Economically, the Cheonggyecheon has stimulated business activity in the surrounding area and, for the first time in Seoul's modern history, effectively linked the north and south of Seoul while reducing traffic pressure on the central business district by increasing the transportation capacity of buses and subways. The project stands as clear evidence that coordinated urban design can catalyze economic development, reinforce connection with the natural environment, and improve the quality of the urban condition for residents and visitors alike. Moreover, the project is paradigmatic of sustainable attitudes toward city design and development, integrating systemic public transportation improvements with meticulous ecological restoration to facilitate novel, authentic, and innovative urban experiences.

City design cannot be regarded merely as the product of an inspired designer or a skillful politician; projects at the scale of the Cheonggyecheon intervention often do not have a single designer and, in most cases, require exemplary political support and public negotiation. In the case of the Cheonggyecheon River Restoration Project, the successful completion was made possible by the presence and constant support of Mayor and President LeeMyung-bak, the work of the urban design team at the SeoulDevelopmentInstitute, the coordination of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a public participation process, and the contributions of specialists and engineers from various firms. Together these diverse players formed a brilliant and effective team, collaborating to establish formal logics and systems of synergy among disciplines and across specialized sectors. We see here the interdisciplinary role of the urban design project, facilitating critical connections between landscape and economics, engineering and planning, politics and architecture.
Cheonggyecheon is an urban intervention with far-reaching significance for the city as a whole, as the project scope is far more extensive than the linear park. Environmentally, the restored waterway and plantings have not only changed the ecology along its banks but have affected the climatic conditions in the city center. Economically, the Cheonggyecheon has stimulated business activity in the surrounding area and, for the first time in Seoul's modern history, effectively linked the north and south of Seoul while reducing traffic pressure on the central business district by increasing the transportation capacity of buses and subways. The project stands as clear evidence that coordinated urban design can catalyze economic development, reinforce connection with the natural environment, and improve the quality of the urban condition for residents and visitors alike. Moreover, the project is paradigmatic of sustainable attitudes toward city design and development, integrating systemic public transportation improvements with meticulous ecological restoration to facilitate novel, authentic, and innovative urban experiences.

Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁), meaning "Greatly Blessed", was the first and largest of the Five Grand Palaces in Seoul.Built in 1395, it served as the main palace and home the kings of the Joseon Dynasty. The palace was destroyed during the Korean-Japan war in 1592 and was restored in 1867 under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong.
In here, visitors can see the elegant royal culture of Joseon, including facilities for royal affairs of kings and officials. Geunjeongjeon Hall, the symbol of royal authority and a venue for the official events, and Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, a place for banquets, are must-see attractions of the palace.
